Tavon brings some intrigue because it puts the defense in a bind trying to counter with personnel.

This is a 3rd down passing situation package player.

Cuts are going to have to be made somewhere. We didn’t commit much to Thompson who’s on a cheap one-year deal. He’s going to have a tough time making the team.
Thompson played better than Austin last year. Watch the tape. Stupid to pay Austin 4 times as much as Thompson. Hopefully they restructure Austin.

Value deal. But how will he really help?

I dont get it. You have Beasley for the slot with Switz who will be greatly improved behind him and already a serviceable PR guy.

He is not a RB- I am a bit perplexed.

The Rams reworked his contract in March.

It appears to now be 1-year, 5M with another 3M in incentives.

Edit: It appears the Ramsa will eat some of the guarantee and the Cowboys get him at 1-year 3M.

He was used a rusher much more than receiver un 2017. He had 59 rushes witj a 6.7 average and 1 TD. He was on targetted 22 times as a receiver.

Fumbles are an issue.

NFL draft just stated $1 million with $3 million in incentives...$4 million assumed by the Rams.

I like the move. No money wasted. We know he’s fast and it was a 6th round pick. Another threat out of the backfield
